Michelin Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade - Hybrid Style - Hard Cover - 26" - Qty 1
part number: MCH8526

This hybrid-style wiper blade combines the flexibility and contoured shape of other blade styles. Hard plastic cover keeps debris out of blade and SmartFlex suspension ensures maximum windshield contact for a smooth wipe in rain, snow, and ice.

Features:

  • Replacement hybrid-style, all-weather wiper blade provides excellent visibility for your vehicle in rain, snow, and sleet
  • Hinged SmartFlex suspension system delivers a uniform, streak-free wipe
    • Helps blade conform to windshield to optimize wiper performance
    • Holds down blade ends for a superior wipe
    • Offers 8 pressure points along the blade for consistent blade-to-windshield contact
  • Hinged, hard plastic cover is durable, and it flexes to help blade conform to windshield shape
    • Prevents ice, snow, and debris from building up on the blade
    • Segments are hinged independently from the blade to allow for adequate flexibility
  • Aerodynamic, rounded shape slips through the air to help prevent wiper from being lifted by the wind
  • Graphite coating on squeegee delivers smooth, quiet wiping action
    • Helps minimize skipping and chatter
  • Natural rubber squeegee with corrosion-proof stainless steel flexor is long-lasting
  • Rust-resistant powder coated metal frame and rivets ensure strength and durability
  • Patented EZ LOK connectors let you easily attach blade to most wiper arm styles
  • 26" Long


Contoured Shape with Flexible Frame

The Michelin Stealth Ultra hybrid-style wiper blade for your vehicle guarantees excellent results when it comes to keeping your windshield clean. It combines the contoured, aerodynamic shape of a beam-style wiper with the flexibility and multiple pressure points of a frame-style wiper to produce a blade that won't miss spots or cause streaking.


SmartFlex Suspension System Provides Consistent Results

The Stealth uses patented SmartFlex frame arms and hinges for superior windshield-cleaning results. The 2 secondary arms flex to allow the blade to conform to the shape of your windshield better than standard frames can. The secondary arms also provide strong lateral support to the wiper. The SmartFlex hinges are designed to work together with the secondary arms, enhancing their ability to hold down the ends of the blade. The secondary arms transfer downward pressure to 4 tertiary arms, resulting in a total of 8 pressure points along the blade for even windshield contact. The SmartFlex system ensures that the blade applies pressure along its entire length, no matter the shape of your windshield or the pressure exerted by your wiper's arms


Aerodynamic, Hinged Hard Cover

Cover portion of Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper

The Stealth Ultra has a hard cover that prevents the wiper blade from accumulating sleet, snow, and leaves. By resisting buildup - and adding to the overall strength of the blade - the hard cover ensures that the wiper can weather the tough challenges of Mother Nature and consistently keep your windshield clear.


The hard cover's hinges work independently of the hinges in the wiper frame, which allows the blade to flex so that it conforms perfectly to the shape of your windshield. Because the wiper makes consistent contact with your windshield along the length of the blade, it can completely remove sleet, rain, and snow with no missed spots.


The cover has an aerodynamic shape to resist the effects of wind. This ensures that the blade resists being lifted by the wind and maintains even pressure on your windshield at all times.


Graphite-Coated Rubber Squeegee for Superior Performance

Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper squeegee

The natural rubber squeegee is made with proprietary processing techniques to ensure that it outperforms the competition. And the squeegee has a graphite coating to make sure the wiper glides smoothly across your windshield. This graphite coating helps to eliminate skipping, which can leave behind a washboard pattern of water. It also helps keep your wiper quiet so you won't be annoyed by squealing or chattering sounds.


Fast Installation with EZ LOK Connectors

Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper connector

To install the blade, rotate the connector piece on the blade to fit the type of connector that's on your car. (Some wiper arm styles require that you replace the standard connector on the blade with one of the included alternate connectors.) Then clip the wiper blade onto the car's connector. The wiper blade will click into place so that you know it's securely installed.


The Stealth Ultra can be easily installed on most types of wiper arms, including those with the following connector styles:

Video Transcript for Michelin Stealth Ultra Wiper Blades Installation - 2013 Ford Explorer

Hi I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Mitchell and Stealth Ultra, Hybrid Style Windshield Wiper blades on our 2013 Ford Explorer. Replacing your windshield wipers is gonna ensure you have a clear windshield during those rain, icy, and snowy conditions. Couple things I really like about these windshield wiper blades is they're fully covered. Unlike the open style that's gonna prevent ice and snow buildup. They're gonna be aerodynamic, what's that gonna do is that's gonna prevent the lift while we're going down the highway or the blade from coming off of the windshield.

Also, if you notice each cover is gonna be split in two places. What that does is it allows that cover to flex as well as windshield changes shape or as the windshield wiper blade is going across your windshield. When the windshield changes shape that cover's gonna flex to allow natural pressure from one side of the blade to the other.Each blade is gonna have eight points of reticulation to help maximize that downward pressure and help evenly distribute that downward pressure from one side of the blade to the other. The squeegee is gonna have a graphite coating to prevent skipping and chattering in those white rainy conditions.Now that we've gone over some of the features let me show you how to get them installed. We can start by removing our old wiper blade.

It's a good idea to have a piece of cardboard, something like that, and slide it underneath the one that you're changing because this arm is metal. If it slips out of your hand after you take your blade off this, if it smacks your windshield, could potentially break it. On our new blade we're gonna have a little piece like this, we'll just need to pop it off. We're gonna spin it upside down like that and we're just gonna push. Just like that.

We're gonna have a little piece like this, this tab will slide. We're gonna push that tab and we'll slide that out like that. Put our vacuum on the first, slide it up and push that into place. Take our new blade, and we're gonna pop it on like that. Now you're just gonna repeat that same process for the the other one.That's gonna complete our look at and installation on the Mitchell and Stealth Ultra, Hybrid Style Windshield Wiper blades on our 2013 Ford Explorer..
